What's happening at Control-Care...

Control-Care has received the order for a steam turbine controls integration into the plant’s DCS. This is the second order from this refinery in the Netherlands after successful implementation of the first steam turbine control system into the plant’s DCS. In Control-Care scope is supply is project software engineering of the control system application including HMI screens and application configuration. Commissioning and Startup is scheduled for later this year.

Control-Care has upgraded the control and protection system of the second Mitsui steam turbine driving a large fan (blower) on one of the largest phosphate mining and processing plant in Morocco. Our scope of delivery includes the unit control panel with our Steam Turbine Control Application (STCA) in a redundant PLC, overspeed protection device, governor valve actuators and trip valve actuator and speed sensors. This is the second unit after the first was done back in 2018.

Control-Care has provided site installation and field commissioning support for the delivery of a OEM produced gasturbine compressor set to Latin America. Full site support services were provided for the installation of gasturbine, compressor, mechanical machinery alignment, coolers, lube oil system, ventilators, silencers, turbine air intake, valves and compressor nozzles.

Control-Care as independent service provider has provide field support and commissioning services to the turbomachinery OEM. This was a greenfield project for a new FPSO vessel in Norway. Our tasks included all the commissioning around the control and automation systems including compressor surge validation testing of the three compressors.

Control-Care will implement an integrated compressor control system on an ABB DCS. The current steam turbine drive, for one of the two blowers working in parallel, is replaced by an ABB electrical drive, using the AC800M controller. Control-Care scope is defined to optimize current blower operation by replacing existing turbomachinery control to an integrated solution on ABB's AC800M controller. Commissioning and startup of the plant is expected for 2020.

Control-Care will implement an integrated compressor control and protection system on a plant DCS. This is a greenfield project for an addition of a new compressor to an existing exploration site in New Zealand. Control-Care will supply control application software for compressor antisurge control and 2oo3 surge protection including full project engineering and documentation. Commissioning and startup of the plant is expected for 2020.
